Relicensing all the shlomifish.org body of works under CC-by or the CC0.

TL;DR Summary

I, Shlomi Fish (a.k.a "Rindolf"), am hereby offering to relicense all the current public content that is hosted in the site's main repository and its child repositories (e.g the ones in these lines), and is not too private or personal, under CC-BY 4.0-or-later, on the condition that I receive at least 10 million Euro (EUR) to my PayPal and/or bank account and/or my Patreon account.

In addition, if I receive at least 100 million Euro, I will make the texts and the franchises themselves under an aggregate public-domain / "copyfree" license.

I wish to set my intellectual children free to be reused and sublicensed, like any individual, corporation, or any other organisation pleases. However, I wish to have the financial freedom to survive for the foreseeable future. I do not care if I get the money as many small donations, or as one large donation by a single rich benefactor, or as something in between.

Scope

The offer will affect the snapshot as of 18 March 2021 of commit fab5e9b2 of the git repository and will affect all original (but possibly fanfic) of these resources:

  1. Factoids

  2. Fortune cookies and quotes

  3. Aphorisms, quotes and captioned images

  4. Screenplays and novellas

  5. Original small scale works (funny bits)

  6. Essays and works of amateur philosophy

  7. Original talks / presentations material - slides, notes, etc.

  8. Puzzles, riddles and brainteasers

  9. Digital artworks

  10. The text pages of the software section.

Particular Excludes

  1. Everything under /me/.

  2. Everything under /meta/

Implications

Basically, I wish for a thousand flowers to bloom, meaning:

  • Time Magazine or Playboy or whoever will be able to publish edited versions of "Putting all the Cards on the Table (2013)" or any other essay of mine with or without paying me.

  • Hollywood studios, or the actors themselves, or YouTubers or whoever, will be able to film my Screenplays and novellas and use any licence they desire as long as I am attributed.

  • Book publishers will be able to publish anthologies of my screenplays, stories, bits, aphorisms, essays, etc., including edited ones as long as they credit me.
